1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveThe present study examined impairment in two main dimensions of mentalizing (self-other and emotional-cognitive) in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) by combining self-reported measures with performance-based tasks.

methodForty-five patients with AN recruited from an eating disorder unit and 45 healthy controls (HCs) recruited from the general population completed the Mentalization Scale and the Movie for Assessment of Social Cognition.

resultsThe results revealed that in self-reported evaluations of their mentalization process, patients with AN hypo-mentalized about themselves and others' mental states. However, they used more hyper-mentalizing than HCs when mentalizing others' emotional and cognitive mental states in performance-based tasks. Finally, the severity of eating symptoms in patients with AN was associated with higher levels of perceived hypo-mentalizing about their own mental states and lower levels of perceived hypo-mentalizing of others' mental states. No associations were found between the severity of eating symptoms and mentalizing performance.

conclusionsThis study emphasizes the importance of mentalizing impairment in patients with AN, which should be considered via a multidimensional approach that considers both emotional and cognitive dimensions and the ability to assess patients' competences.
